Bernalillo County fire officials said residents told them a meth lab was inside the trailer.

“I feel like it's a real life 'Breaking Bad,'" said neighbor Christopher Jaramillo. "I don't know if it's because of the show or if they really depict our life. It's a real life 'Breaking Bad.'"

Firefighters fought in defensive mode, fearing a chemical explosion.

“It is a little surprising because there's a lot of families that live here, so we never expected something like that in our backyard,” said neighbor Angelina Jaramillo.

“I saw all kinds of smoke so I went to go and see. I saw a big fire and it was really big,” said Makaila DeLuna.

Residents panicked with their homes a stone's throw away.

“An ember could have easily caught any of these houses or spread it too. They have livestock, horses, chickens and all of that. It could have been a lot more dangerous that it is,” Christopher Jaramillo said.

Some neighbors said it smelled like chemicals.

“Just by the look of the smoke and the smell, now it makes me wonder. It was toxic, you could smell it,” Angelina Jaramillo said.

County fire officials said after the blaze was out they didn’t find any signs of a meth lab.
